As I sit here pondering upon 2006, my thoughts turn to our family’s New Year Resolutions.
Hurricane Hadley
Overcome her addiction to her cocaine-laced pacifier (or whatever they put in those things)
Lots and LOTS and LOTS of sleepovers at Grandma’s
SLEEP MORE, CRY LESS
Summit Everest. Without oxygen.
Hunky Hubby
Daily back-rubs for beloved, pregnant wife.
Daily foot-rubs for beloved, pregnant wife.
Daily love notes for beloved, pregnant wife.
Daily meals for beloved, pregnant wife.
Daily cleanup duty for beloved, pregnant wife.
Oh, and finish landscaping the backyard ONCE AND FOR ALL. For beloved, pregnant wife, of course.
Me
I hereby covenant to uphold the ONLY New Year’s Resolution I have ever kept: to no longer make New Year’s Resolutions for myself. Besides, it’s much more fun to have such resolve for others. Perhaps they can change the name next year to New Year’s Honey-Do Lists?
Gee, 2006 is already looking up. Happy New Year!!
